AS the sun started to set on the Big Weekend tent, The Enemy gave the Swindon crowd a memorable send-off.

The Coventry-based band played in the Oasis more than a month ago, but were glad to be back.

"All right Swindon? It is great to be back, let's get to work," said frontman Tom Clarke, before he launched into "No Time for Tears".

With the song "Away From Here", the crowd joined in with the chorus with enthusiasm.

He stepped away from the microphone and the crowd gladly took over for him.

With The Prodigy kicking off on the main stage, that meant the crowd started to thin out at the back, but you could see everyone there really wanted to be there.

As the stage lights illuminated the crowd's happy faces, the Enemy closed the Swindon In New Music We Trust Stage with the track, "You're Not Alone".

Steve Franklin 16, from Wootton Bassett said: "They were really great. I have their CD. The Big Weekend has been really good. It was special and a one-off."
